Northeast's GPZ Gold Album

[Northeast]

Certainly not my first finds but have been out today and might as well start an album.  Especially with these beauties!!

Now with a thread name like this you might think it will rival the Reg Wilson album??  Sadly you will be disappointed at present but don't worry as my plan is to start small so the gold in the album can do nothing but get bigger. A cunning stunt if ever I saw one

Off an old area where the gold has been washed/rockered/something.  Have found quite a few other little bits there but the one to the right of the echidna's nose would have to be the smallest.  To give the non-Aussie's an idea the 5 cent piece is our smallest coin and on another Aussie gold forum really small gold is often measured against the nose of the echidna. 

Amazing to think the 14 inch coil can pick this stuff up.   High yield, difficult, sensitivity 15, volume 1, B&Z booster working nicely

Retirement.......a long way off at this rate.

Which detector's 14" coil found these? Zed or Monster? 

[IdahoPeg]

Hi Steve...he used the Zed. I think the Monster's coils are 5" and elliptical 10". :-)

Thanks Peg.

Yep Steve, this is my GPZ album.  Ridiculously small aren't they?  

[Andyy]

Well now, Northeast ... congratulations!!  Those are considered Lunkers where I am from. 

[Elusive]

Good stuff Northeast! As you said only way to go is up eh!! 

Nice work, and as you said, ridiculously small pieces.

cheers, Elusive

That makes me sad Andyy - you'd best move to Australia

A quick session with Elusive today in the local hills.  Having a bit of a look at a spot that he and his wife have found a few small pieces around the .5 to 1 gram mark with his SDC.  He invited me to swing the Z over the tight little creek to see if we could pick up something deeper.

Not 10 minutes and the Z sounded off nicely.  .22 or a bit of gold by the sound. 

Sure enough, a nice piece of yella. Elusive's to keep but one that I can claim for the GPZ album

It was a very thin, flat piece and we are guessing it was sitting on its side in a crevice.  1.575 gms on Elusive's scales.

Really stormy around NE Vic today so almost impossible to try and detect the small pieces as the detector was constantly squeaking with EMI.  A creek for another day with no storms and the threshold ramped to 20

Yes, there are bigger ones out there JW - but the plan with my album was to start small and get bigger.  As per yesterdays finds my plan is working - mwahahaha

NE,

You are getting bigger.  The next part of the plan is to extend Elusive's patch far enough so you can keep what you find!  We are normally directed to the fringes of the commercial operations to get the 'far between' pieces the old methods left behind.
